After the hilarious Jeopardy mistake involving Mark Wahlberg and the public enemy, Chuck D and the contestant responded

Gone are the days when Danger! competitors could make random guesses as they please without worrying criticized by viewers on social media . Yet this looming threat doesn’t tend to stop competitors from saying the first thing that pops up in their super-intelligent brains, leading to embarrassing assumptions like someone who thought Michael Caine was Mick Jagger . Or, in the case of reigning champion Halley Ryherd, she confuses one of hip-hop’s most influential bands, Public Enemy, with the short-lived rap group led by future Hollywood star Mark Wahlberg. Chuck D himself also stepped in and was much nicer than most Twitter users.

Here’s how things went. On Danger! In the episode that aired Wednesday, June 29, the cover of Jeopardy contained the category Chuck D, Times 3. The first two tracks revolved around Charles Dickens. A Christmas carol and Charles Darwin’s ship, the Beagle, but it was the third that caused a collective laugh on the Internet. Trace:

• In the 1980s, Chuck D began fighting for power in this hip-hop group with Flavor Flav, a man who always knew what time it was.

Since Halley was the first to call, you may have assumed she was aware of this answer. However, her real guess: “What is Funky Bunch?” – It was so ridiculous that, in hindsight, he felt foolish to think he could do well. After all, it is reasonable to believe that a decent percentage of Danger!– Viewers weren’t even aware of Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch, outside of that time they browsed Mark Wahlberg’s Wikipedia page.

Given the extremely limited impact of this group on hip-hop culture as a whole, specially Compared to Chuck D and Public Enemy, Halley Ryherd got a few hits on social media from viewers whose brains were completely fried by the competitor’s lack of judgment. In fact, it was under one of those comments, the one that gave Ryherd credit for being so irrelevant, that Chuck D weighed in on the matter at Twitter said:

This may be the most sensible, grounded, and humble Twitter post out there. Instead of making fun of Halley Ryherd, the hip-hop legend has made it clear that she doesn’t behave like everyone else. Danger! is responsible for the knowledge of all existing facts. And while Chuck D is undoubtedly aware of the many fans who idolize him and his art of him, he assumes no one. Furthermore, he generally claimed to be intelligent and aware of literature, science, etc. Can we find accommodation for Chuck D? Danger! for an episode or two before choosing the last one ?

Luckily, Halley Ryherd was the champion in the end, despite none of the three contestants making it past Final Jeopardy. (And for a clue he was referring to via del sesameof all things.) And had a good attitude about the very public error (enemy), saying that with a post-episode peek :

Now Halley Ryherd just needs to spend the rest of his life saying nothing like, “You know, that movie actor Rakim. you Yes dead people. “

It is not known if Ryherd will make the list of the most successful Danger! history champions after that first fun win, but you had to start somewhere.
